Chang Tianlei experienced the destruction of his family, experienced running away, experienced hunger and cold, and experienced being insulted and trampled on by others, before his face and body were injured. Until he was found and rescued by Chang Shi, he paid a heavy price for his impulsiveness.
It can be said that having a stable place now is very important to him for the rest of his life after the disaster. But looking at the faces of Chang Shi and Chang's mother, is this peaceful life about to be lost?
"Are you leaving?" Chang Tianlei asked with an uneasy look on his face. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes. "No, but it's possible." Chang's mother's words made him a little confused. Just when he was about to ask her, Chang Shi asked again.
Then he said, "It's not too early to draw a conclusion on this matter. It depends on what Miss Lin Zhu says in the end." He told Chang Tianlei in detail what happened in the front hall just now. He also told Chang Tianlei what he wanted to tell her about the origin.
Lin Zhu also said what he said clearly.
"This is unbelievable." Chang Tianlei was stunned. He never expected that someone would buy the white rice he eats every day at such an outrageous price. And he was begging to buy it. "This Lin Zhu
What's her background?" "Master, Miss Lin Zhu has no background. I heard she was sent to Linjia Village one month after she was born. She doesn't even know who her parents are. The person responsible for taking care of her also left a year ago.
It was not easy until I planted special watermelons this summer, and I suddenly became prosperous." Chang's mother told him some things about Lin Zhu, including adopting Fu Dou'er and teaching the methods of growing valuable watermelons to Linjia Village.
People, and the attitude towards people who buy them back.
"So she is a good person. So you think she will still take us in even if we tell her origins?" Chang Tianlei couldn't explain the feeling in his heart now. He felt that there would be no one like Chang Shi and Chang's mother in the world.
The kind of person who speaks out. He also hopes that she is, and then lets them stay even if he knows that he is a big trouble. Now he is a little conflicted.
"Master, only by telling her can we know how to repay her for saving her life. If we don't tell her, we will never be able to repay her kindness in our lifetime." Chang Shi felt that if his identity was revealed, Lin Zhu might be out of righteousness.
, will continue to take them in. If we don’t say anything, even if General Chang’s grievances are redressed in the future. If we repay the kindness at that time, it will not be so simple, and people may even look down on her. With Lin Zhu’s ability, money will not be enough for her.
It's not difficult for her, and she doesn't seem to have any desire to gain power. This can be seen from the way she treats Dr. Zhang.
Chang Tianlei thought for a while, and instead of getting along with her feeling guilty, it would be better to explain it directly. So he agreed with their ideas. And he wanted to explain it to Lin Zhu himself. After all, given his identity
These things are most appropriate.
So after Lin Zhu had rested, Chang Tianlei came to visit. Lin Zhu was not yet ten years old, and she and Chang Tianlei had no problem with being male and female, so they met him in the flower hall.
"Miss Lin Zhu, thank you for taking us in." Chang Tianlei bowed to Lin Zhu first. "You're welcome. Since you are Chang's mother's relatives. She has helped me a lot, so it is right for me to keep you. And now it seems
Come, I got another capable housekeeper. The result is a win-win situation. You don't have to take it to heart." Lin Zhu felt that he was not here to simply express his gratitude, so he spoke more utilitarianally.
"Miss Lin, there's no need to talk like that. I'm here to confess something to you." Chang Tianlei said sternly. "Then please sit down, I'm all ears." Lin Zhu saw him sitting not far from her.
I found that the injuries on his face and body were much better than when I first saw him. Although he was walking a little unsteadily, he was not far from being completely healed.
Chang Tianlei sat on a chair, facing Lin Zhu. He saw the little girl in front of him, who was several years younger than him, sitting quietly opposite, with a trace of calmness on her young face, who was more beautiful than he had seen before.
The so-called noble ladies in the capital all came here to be dignified. So he explained his identity and origins to her one by one. Finally, he bowed to Lin Zhu, defended Chang's mother and Chang Twelve, and asked her not to blame
Chang’s mother, she had no choice but to hide it from her.
After listening to Chang Tianlei's words, Lin Zhu fell silent. Although she guessed that Chang's mother's identity was not as simple as she said, she did not expect that she was actually the capable mother in charge of the current emperor's favorite concubine, and Chang Shi and Chang Tianlei
His identity is not simple either. Especially Chang Tianlei, who was a sinner and later escaped a fatal blow from his opponent. He is the descendant of the general. Chang Shi is still the most trusted subordinate of the demoted general. No wonder he is so capable, Chang’s mother
He knows all kinds of rules very well, and the reason is here.
Lin Zhu looked up at Chang Tianlei who was sitting in front of him. Although his face was still a little bruised, his stubbornness and unyieldingness could clearly be seen from his wide eyes, straight bridge of nose, and tight mouth. Moreover, his face was full of expressions.
Lin Zhu gradually regained his composure from the initial surprise. He was a little angry, but he could understand the reason why Chang's mother concealed it. Moreover, even Dr. Zhang noticed it and did not explain it to her, which shows their identities.
Although they are sensitive, they should not bring any danger to her. Just taking them with them means that the ordinary and peaceful life she wants will become more and more out of reach. What should she do? If she lets them leave, she will be in trouble.
Who should I leave the matter to? As soon as they opened such a big stall, they threw a big surprise. Lin Zhuxin said, do you want me to keep you? Or should I keep you? Or should I keep you?
?
Knowing that Chang Tianlei was waiting for his answer, Lin Zhu suddenly had the idea to make them anxious. "You suddenly said this, I have to think about it. Let me be quiet first."
Lin Zhu had already chased people away, so Chang Tianlei naturally couldn't sit down anymore and had to go out.
Chang Shi and Chang's mother, who were waiting outside the door, looked at him anxiously. Chang's mother was afraid that Lin Zhu would be so angry that she would not listen to Chang Tianlei's explanation and was very anxious outside the door. Chang Shi was afraid that Lin Zhu would give Chang Tianlei
Some embarrassment.
"What did Miss Lin Zhu say?" they both asked in unison.
"She said she wanted to think about it." After listening to Chang Tianlei's words, the two of them were relieved. "Is she angry?" Chang's mother said with some self-blame, "It's all my fault." "You had no choice but to do it.
Hiding it from her." Chang Shi rarely said a word of comfort.
But they all knew that there was no reason to deceive others even if they had to, so they walked away with a heavy expression.
"Fu Dou'er, what do you think we should do?" Lin Zhu teased Fu Dou'er with a cloth tiger and said, "Can you leave Mom Chang?" Fu Dou'er, who was concentrating on playing with his toys, even looked at her.
"I can't." Lin Zhu could only say to himself. "I think I can't either." A cloth tiger was captured by Fu Dou'er's general tiger, and Lin Zhu replaced it with another one, and then said
, "It seems that we can't live without Uncle Chang Shi now. Otherwise, who would care about the two of us with so many people?" He pinched Fu Dou'er's chubby face with his hand, "You think so."
"Bad, sister, bad." Fu Dou'er can now say every word, protesting against the unscrupulous sister who pinched her face. Since finding out that Fu Dou'er has gained weight, Lin Zhu often pinches him.
Fu Dou'er's pouty little face, and he often likes to rub it with his face, completely ignoring Fu Dou'er's objections. Now, he has learned to say the words "sister, bad" again, which fully shows that he is not satisfied with this "abuse" of his face.
How deep is my sister's resentment?
"You dare to say that I'm bad, you little one, huh, let's see how I deal with you, take the move." Lin Zhu picked up the surviving cloth tiger and laughed with Fu Dou'er, making him laugh. He was already thinking about it.
After making the decision, Lin Zhu relaxed and played with Fu Dou'er.
The next day, Lin Zhu just said to Chang's mother, "Just do what you have to do." Then he turned and left. Chang's mother was left alone to quickly run to report the result to Chang Shi and Chang Tianlei.
Not only Chang Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief, but Chang Shi also had a happy smile on his face, although he didn't look very comfortable with it.
But Lin Zhu still added additional conditions. They could stay here, but they couldn't take the initiative to provoke some people in the capital, including Concubine Lan. Unless the general was redressed, the three people who originally intended to live in seclusion would certainly not
Opposing Lin Zhu's decision. "Okay, Mother Chang will take Fu Dou'er and we will go back to Linjia Village. Uncle Chang and Tianlei will be responsible for the farm affairs. That's it." Finally, Lin Zhu spoke and everyone returned to their previous lives.
.
In November, Aunt Li suddenly notified Lin Zhu that she was going to arrange a marriage for her second son Lin Hongyuan. Lin Zhu had only met Lin Hongyuan once, during the Chinese New Year last year when he paid New Year's greetings to Aunt Li.
Now I see that when everyone is walking around to pay New Year greetings, he is still studying seriously, unmoved by the noise from the outside world, and I heard that he is expected to be a scholar next year, so Aunt Li puts his needs first.
Although he is a scholar, he does not have the sourness of a scholar. He is filial to his parents, respects his elder brother, cares for his younger sister, and is humble to outsiders. He is not a low-class person in everything, but is the only one who is a good scholar. Therefore, in Linjia Village, Lin Hongyuan's reputation
very good.
Lin Hongyuan's unmarried daughter-in-law was from Aunt Li's natal village, and she was from a well-known family in the village. Because she had a close relationship with Aunt Li's natal family, they got engaged as soon as they agreed. Originally, he wanted to wait for the woman to marry him.
They got married as soon as they had haircuts, but because Lin Hongyuan was very talented in reading, Lin Changqing and Aunt Li had been supporting him in his studies, so their family resources were a bit thin, so they agreed to postpone it after discussing with the in-laws. Now I got some silver from Lin Zhu, and I have a lot of money on hand.
She had a lot of money, so Aunt Li took care of the marriage and made an explanation to her in-laws. After all, it had been two years since the engagement, and if it didn't happen, the marriage might be ruined.
